Well i've seen it all today, in one border there are snowdrops flowering along side a clematis, and in another there are aconites flowering alongside some kniphofias [red hot pokers].
I never thought i would see such a spectacle. :wink:

Anyone else got any strange flowering combinations going on at the moment. :?
Kind Regards, Old Herbaceous.

I have a Rudbeckia flowering on my allotment that's been there since summer. Today I found ladybirds around the place. It's all very worrying.

This part of Wales is alive with cammelias in bloom. But then it always has been in February. Then they get burnt by the frost.

We've got some deeply confused summer flowering clematis at work with old dead brown leaves on them from last year, no new leaves yet and these big white flowers that have popped out in the last week.

They are in an open sided tunnel, so have got a roof over them and a poly skin at the back but that's it. Odd, odd odd :?
